Yes, they SHOULD be adding Fortran, another language that has stood the test of time, to the Linux kernel.
Or... Maybe it's good that they add a new (still 10 years old) language with security and DX improvements occasionally. 50 years ago, that language was C...
Adding languages is plainly a bad idea. Migrating to a different language might make sense at a time but IMO rust is still too young to consider that.
How many operating systems are written in FORTRAN and still widely used?
